Résidence DOMITYS L'Aigrette Bleue

Friendly staff, clean rooms with plenty of space. It’s about 1 hour 15 minutes from Calais for the tunnel or ferries, and we always choose this place when we’re making a crossing.

We booked two Standard apartments for two adults and two children under 10, for one night on 31st August 2019. The rooms were modern, clean and larger than we expected, and the complex itself was really nice. The facilities, including the pool and gym, were great. Check-in was quick and easy, and the staff were very friendly and spoke English. The restaurant menu was quite limited, which is the only reason I haven’t given five stars. They did give us 50% off vouchers, which we used. I’d rate the place 4.5 stars and would definitely return!

The apartments are very luxurious, with good room service. This residence makes unused apartments available to visitors on a hotel basis for older people. There’s a bar, restaurant, games room and swimming pool, plus exercise machines. It’s centrally located in Abbeville, a historic town in the Somme, with good free parking. The staff are few in number but friendly, and the residents like having visitors. They liked our small dog, and dogs are welcome. It’s about 100 km from Calais and Rouen. Give it a try, you’ll love it.

The staff we met were all really pleasant and helpful, and the restaurant was easy to use, with set meals based on that week’s menu. Domitys Abbeville was spotless, with excellent facilities, and it’s handy for town, supermarkets, and fuel. It’s also only a 75-minute drive from Le Shuttle. We’d stayed with the group in Amboise before spending two separate nights here, and liked the accommodation, staff, and facilities so much that we booked a week for summer 23. Looking forward to going back!
